“Ghosts” has only been been released for two weeks and has already received rave reviews from USA Today/BNN and others. Additionally, one of the singles, “And Then You Sang”, is number 2 and number 12 on the Hot Disc Country Chart and Independent Music Network Chart respectively.
This all comes prior to Tokyo’s upcoming northeast tour that opens at the world famous Bitter End on February 10th. In addition U.S. airplay is strong on Americana and Triple A stations. “Toke” will be touring radio and TV stations through mid April prior to his fourth UK tour promoting “Ghosts” and performing live on air and in venues.
“This is quite an honor,” said Rosenthal. “I need to thank everyone who made this possible and supports my music and I hope this opens more doors for me and the folks who played on ‘Ghosts’. See y’all over there in April.”
